If you no-till in the U.S. Corn Belt, you’re growing some of the most productive plants in the world. According to NASA and university scientists, the Midwest boasts more photosynthetic activity during the Northern Hemisphere’s growing season than any other spot on Earth.

No-tillers in the Ohio River Basin may have an opportunity to put a few extra dollars in their pockets while helping protect the environment.

Boron Key For Pollination, Flowering And Podset

To get full benefit of boron, plants need a continual soil supply — either naturally or supplemented through a fertilizer application — throughout the growing season.

Boron deficiency is one of the most widespread micronutrient deficiencies in the world, but it can be hard to visually identify these deficiencies in row crops.

Gypsum Increases Yields, Reduces Fertilizer Use, Improves Soil Balance

A survey of hundreds of no-tillers reveals they saw $1.68 worth of benefits for every dollar spent on gypsum applications, with the payback being higher with long-term use.

More often than not, the benefits of gypsum applications exceed the application cost, and the amendment can serve as a tool to mitigate drainage issues and increase yields, says a recent survey involving hundreds of no-tillers.

No-Till Practices Yield ‘Win-Win’ For Nutrient Use

No-tillers honored as Responsible Nutrient Management Practitioners share how data management, cover crops, split applications and tissue testing helped them increase yields more efficiently.

Three innovative no-till farm operations were recognized by the Responsible Nutrient Management Foundation during the National No-Tillage Conference in Springfield, Ill.

[Webinar] Creating A True 1-Pass No-Till System Of Seeding & Fertility

March 18, 2014 | Posted in Nutrient Management, Seeding & Planting

Adairville, Ky., no-tiller Joel Armistead has worked with a true one-pass seeding and fertility no-till system for more than a decade that has made him more efficient and helped him produce higher corn and soybean yields.

Examine Application Methods To Get The Most From Fertilizer

No-tillers who utilize tissue sampling, band fertilizers, scout for nutrient deficiencies and know the limitations of their soil types can squeeze more bushels of corn from productive no-till soils.

While there are plenty of tools available today for no-tillers to grow high-yielding corn, failure to use all of them can cause corn yield to be left on the table.

Applying Nitrogen To Wheat Before Green-Up

Each year producers ask the question: When is the best time to apply nitrogen to wheat? Also, is it ok to apply nitrogen on frozen ground? For any nitrogen application the question to ask is when does the crop need nitrogen. Wheat does not require large amounts of nitrogen until stem elongation (Feekes Growth Stage 6), which is the middle or the end of April depending on the location in state. Ohio research has shown no yield benefit from applications made prior to this time period. Soil organic matter or nitrogen applied at planting generally provides sufficient nitrogen for early growth until stem elongation.
